I'd love to see a consulting report on who to add from the PAC.

If they are really going to get 30 million per school, that must be due to 5-6 of them. If we can peel those off to the ACC, they could bring the whole 300 million with them or close to it. Back of the napkin says that gets the total group to around 38 million each (5-6M gain for the ACC schools). That group must include enough of the high academic schools that the ACC would be the best conference for them to join (not the B12), especially if it is a group of six, and they can operate largely as a separate scheduling group. ** Edited by Truthahn at 2/20/2023, 5:27:00 PM

The ACC's best immediate play is to absorb most of the Pac 12-2

The ACC doesn't have the luxury to do what the B1G just did.

Contraction is the third rail of conference realignment.
Maroon Baboon 02/20/23 05:06 PM ET
The ACC eight breakaway idea is a form of contraction.

The ACC GOR till 2036 is a double edged sword. The UW, UO, B1G angle is

Financial suicide to try to get out anytime soon, but in 8-10 years...

In 8-10 years, AI will force all universities to close anyway.

Would love to see a correction where the SEC and B1X is brought back...
